The problem of disabilities is growing all over the world. Nevertheless, some progress has been made since the year 1981 was proclaimed International Year of Disabled Persons. In 2001 people living with disabilities accounted ...
HerMES: The far-infrared emission from dust-obscured galaxies
(American Astronomical Society, 2013)
The far-infrared (far-IR) luminosities of luminous infrared
galaxies (LIRGs) and ultra-LIRGs (ULIRGs) are dominated by reprocessed thermal dust
emission, due to a combination of star formation and active
galactic nucleus ...
Herschel-ATLAS: A binary HyLIRG pinpointing a cluster of starbursting protoellipticals
(American Astronomical Society, 2013)
Panchromatic observations of the best candidate hyperluminous infrared galaxies from the widest Herschel
extragalactic imaging survey have led to the discovery of at least four intrinsically luminous z = 2.41 galaxies
across ...
On the nature of the variable star UNSW-V-760
(Oxford University Press, 2011)
The results of multicolour photometric monitoring over several nights of the probable X-ray
source UNSW-V-760 are presented. Drawing on both present and past observations, it is
shown that the star is multiperiodic and ...
The analysis of indexed astronomical time series – XI. The statistics of oversampled white noise periodograms
(Oxford University Press, 2015)
The distribution of the maxima of periodograms is considered in the case where the time
series is made up of regularly sampled, uncorrelated Gaussians. It is pointed out that if there
is no oversampling, then for large ...
An extensive search for rapid optical variability in ultracool dwarfs
(Oxford University Press, 2013)
In this paper, a summary of optical time-series photometry of 125 ultracool dwarfs is given.
The observing strategy was to monitor each object continuously for 2–3 h in order to ascertain
whether itwas rapidly variable. ...
Under-5 Mortality in Tanzania: a demographic scenario
(Tehran University of Medical Sciences, 2012)
Background: The government of the United Republic of Tanzania has initiated the Integrated Management of Childhood Illness program to improve the health and wellbeing of children.
Methods: Tanzania’s under-five mortality ...
Comparative analysis of the use of professional health providers by young mothers in developing countries: A new frontier for health education
(AFAHPER-SD, 2016)
Childbearing accelerates the risk of maternal and child morbidity and young mothers have a much higher risk of dying from maternal causes. Therefore, understanding the dynamics of young mothers’ use of professional health ...
Does seasonality and stochastic cycles affect output growth in Nigeria? Lessons for development planning
(International Foundation for Research and Development (IFRD), 2016)
This paper examines the seasonality and stochastic cycle associated with GDP growth in Nigeria using two measures of filter. Our findings include, that the Christiano & Fitzgerald (2003) filter removed low-periodicity ...
Women's education and health inequalities in under-five mortality in selected sub-Saharan African countries, 1990–2015
(PLOS, 2016)
The aim of the study was to analyse trends in the relationship between mother’s educational
level and mortality of children under the year of five in Sub-Saharan Africa, from 1990 to
2015.Data used in this study came ...
